[Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] Using connected post names to create post title

    Scribu, or anyone that might be able to help.

    I’m struggling to figure out how to use the name of connected posts to update the title of the current post.

    Details:

    I currently have posts 2 posts connecting 2 custom post types — artists and events.

    Each event allows the end user to create a new event and connect artists to it — this works great. I’d now like to remove the title support from the events post type, and automagically create a title on save that uses the connected artists names (and a custom field) as the post title for the event.

    I’ve managed to figure out how to update the title with my custom fields, but I can’t figure out how to parse through the connected events and add them as well.

    Any help would be super appreciated.

  • John,

    You should be able to do something like this:

    I’m sure there are several other filters or actions you could hook into rather than wp_insert_post_data — you’ll have to dig through the codex to figure out which one best suites your situation.

    Ah, I see. Ok – now that I’m starting to understand PHP a little better, this makes sense.

    Thanks a ton!

    Would be very nice to see the removed solution for this.
